Fire safety projects often sit high on the priority list within the CIF programme, particularly where compliance, life safety and building condition concerns need to be addressed. Whether the project involves fire door replacement programmes, compartmentation works or wider fire protection upgrades, schools now face a relatively short window to move from approval into planning and procurement.
As a delivery partner for fire door projects, we understand the pressure school, consultants and contractors face once funding is confirmed. Effective planning , clear communication and realistic times remain essential to successful project delivery.
